Game Basics

Your main goal is to summon monsters and fight in the world of Sky Arena. Lets go into the currency used in the game.

Energy - This determines whether you can fight in the dungeon or not. Entering a dungeon costs some energy(usually 3-8). Energy replenishes by 1 every 5 minutes. This can be regenerated faster with a special building(Mysterious Plant) later on in the game. Your max energy capacity also increases by 1 when you level up. There is also a building(Sanctum of Energy) that increases your max energy capacity.

Arena Invitation - This determines how many arena fights you can do. It replenishes every 30 minutes, up to 10 max.

Mana Stone - This is the main currency used in the game. It is used for summoning, power-ups, buildings and much more.

Crystals - This is the real money currency. You can buy this to summon better monsters. However, please be aware that this game is not as pay to win as you would think. The dungeons are hard and even if you have 5 star monsters, you are not guaranteed to win easily in tough dungeons.

Monster Evolution

Summoning monsters is one of the fun parts of the game. However, it can also be a frustrating process for some. You can either get some good monsters and then get a bunch of fodders.

There are different ways you can summon monsters.

1) Unknown Scrolls - This summons any 1-3 star monsters. Most of the time you just get 1 star fodders. Requires 300 mana stones per summon.

Secret Dungeon - Can only be unlocked from the elemental halls. It unlocks a specific elemental unit for you to defeat and obtain summoning scrolls used to summon the actual monster.

Runes

You can customize your characters with runes. There are different sets you can use. Below is a picture of it.
